A one-length bob is when the hair ends are cut in a visible straight line. It has symmetrical edges that allow the tresses to appear fuller and healthier than they are. While it provides an elegant finish, a bob cut is easier to style and manage!
Marjan Ataie is a professional stylist from London. She points out the importance of recognizing your head and face shape to ensure that the cut suits you.
“A blunt bob benefits women with square and small heart-shaped faces the most. It’s a great choice for those who have a short or broad neck and even protruding ears,” Ataie states.
On the other hand, ladies with round or long face shapes must avoid this chop.
Ataie also suggests a one-length cut for middle-aged women with thin, fine locks. She explains, “It can make them look younger, which opens up their faces and gives an all-over lighter look.”
If unsure about your preferred chop, go to your stylist. They can advise you on the ideal style that works for your face shape.
One thing to learn about when you opt for a short bob is you have limited access to enjoying hair accessories. You won’t be able to tie your hair back, for instance.
And though it’s low-maintenance, a short haircut will take time to grow out. Regular trims are still required. Don’t forget to ask your stylist what styling and aftercare products to use.
